Topic: xsane will be removed (Read 931 times)

At present upgrades of sane are a little confusing.sane-utils (1.0.27-1) will remove libsane (1.0.25-4.1). Solution: Put sane-utils on hold until libsane will be upgraded to (1.0.27-...).

Current system upgrade will remove xsane. I could not find out why. So I put xsane on hold. The upgrade list did not change, but no removal of xsane anymore.After the upgrade xsane still works fine.Now I have marked xsane as unhold again and it is not indicated to be removed anymore.Strange.

apt-mark hold xsane and let the utils go. And wait a year or so - thats why we stick with the release name 'Patience'

P.S.: Do you have an idea, why my last post is in bold letters, allthough I have not formatted it in bold?Also I wonder, why I cannot modify my first post of 'Kernel 4.18 –> X does not start in VirtualBox' anymore. It should be marked as solved.

@ [font=droidsansbold][size=1em]clubex @ [/size][/font][font=droidsansbold][size=1em]DeepDayze[/size][/font][font=droidsansbold]The answer is dead easy - just don't use the visual editor - it is broken for years and was never fixed upstream

second: Limitation of smf - rights are not fine grained enough. If we would allow changes after a certain amount of time, we would allow deletion of old posts too - not the best idea.

Sorry – I have thought that libsane1 has solved the issue, but it has not.Again Xsane and several other packages (colord gnome-color-manager libkf5sane5 libsane1 sane-utils tellico xsane) will be removed.Interim solution: # apt-mark hold xsane sane-utils
